Chapter 194: Are you studying Hollywood rivals? (First update, four thousand words! Thanks to the 6th league)

On the first day of the new year, the setting sun gradually went west, and the earth began to dim.
The New Year's Day this year is a happy event for the theaters. Almost all theaters have put up advertisements for movies to be shown on the first day of the new year.
Of course, these ads are hierarchical.
The advertisements of American Hollywood blockbusters such as "Planet Age", "King Kong 1. Origin", and "Killing Alien" are directly hung on the largest listings at the entrance of the movie theater, and they look quite eye-catching, while "Blood Red Age", "Half Summer", " Chinese movies such as "Blood of War" and "Wanderers" are hung on the aisles when the movie theater enters. Although they look quite eye-catching, they are completely incomparable with the treatment of American blockbusters. One of them is the same as that of a stepmother.
Even Tianhe Cinemas does this.
This is not to blame for the snobbery of the theaters for looking down on Huaxia movies, but at this time Huaxia movies are now in a very embarrassing situation.
Especially this year's Spring Festival stalls give the theaters a feeling that none of them can play.
Many of China’s upcoming blockbusters quietly avoided the Spring Festival stalls, and then postponed them to March and April.
why?
They are scared!
Hollywood movies are scourges!
Of course, there have been directors who have tried to compete with Hollywood blockbusters.
And the time was last year.
Last year, China’s major director Li Changrui made a large investment of 200 million yuan and the team carefully planned and made a high-cost film "Global Disaster". The promotional film for a month before the film was released requested some editing of the film. .
The movie clips are very well cut, and the visual effects of the special effects are also very strong.
After watching the editing, the plot and the cast, netizens think this may be the pinnacle of a Chinese science fiction blockbuster that can go abroad. They have a very high evaluation of this film and their expectations are very high!
Li Changrui's team is also very strong, directly slogan "China Sci-Fi Rise", just like a hero.
In this era when Chinese science fiction films are dying and being beaten by Hollywood, all movie fans desire a hero.
This is a kind of national pride.
The appearance of "Global Disaster" makes them feel that the hero in their hearts has appeared.
On the day of the premiere, fans rushed to the theaters to support it with enthusiasm. In fact, the premiere result of "Global Disaster" was very good. On the day of the premiere, the box office broke 40 million, which directly broke the entire China. The box office record for the premiere is close to that of the Hollywood movie "Vampire Night" during the same period.
However, when director Li Mingrui and other directors sharpened their knives to prepare for a big fight, the box office dropped by 10 million the next day!
Instead of increasing, it has decreased.
Li Mingrui was a little confused.
Then look at the evaluation on the Internet.
Looking at it this way, he was even more confused.
The Internet is full of curses.
The plot is embarrassing, the actor’s lines don’t take his heart out, the special effects editing looks really good, but in fact the editing is good, the real content is crude and unattractive at first glance, and the shooting method is even more plagiarism from the American blockbuster. Nothing new!
All in all, the mess of bad reviews fills the network in an instant.
The more you have hope for this movie, the more disappointed you will be when you find that this movie is a chicken after holding it to the altar.
The feeling of falling from the altar is very uncomfortable.
Although "Global Disaster" finally won the box office of 250 million at the box office of the month, it was actually not the result of the movie itself but the fan appeal of the star Xu An and the results of the countless advertising investments.
As for director Li Mingrui?
Li Mingrui was sprayed into a dog.
After spraying for a full year, I couldn't recover.
This was a blow to Li Mingrui, and it was also a blow to China's fans!
The fans woke up from the dream.
Yes, I woke up.
Chinese movies cannot be said to be bad, but compared with Hollywood, the gap is really not that big.
So even if this year Li Mingrui continued to bring his billion-dollar investment film "Blood of War" to regain confidence and want to compete with Hollywood movies, in fact, not many netizens feel that the two are at war.
Thank God for not being crushed, do you still want to compete?
What a joke!
Don't be ashamed and throw it into the world.
Precisely because of this general environment, this year’s Spring Festival is still the first place in the promotion of those Hollywood movies, while other Chinese movies have to lean back a little...
After all, it is the general trend.
Netizens are generally not optimistic about the box office of Chinese movies in the Spring Festival this year.
Online netizens have already figured out the box office results and final rankings of this year’s movies. Although the ranking details have changed a lot, none of the top three at the box office is a Chinese movie at all, starting from fourth. There are Chinese movies such as "Blood Age" and "The Wanderer"...
It looks tragic.
No battle has been lost.
………………………………
"Director Shen, smoke less. I dare not say anything else at the box office this year, but fourth we can still guarantee it."
"Fourth...hehe, am I now falling to the point of fighting for fourth... That's right, the first three are all Hollywood blockbusters, and being able to fight for fourth is actually very powerful."
"This... Director Shen, last time "The Capital" was just an accident, in fact..."
"Wei Fatty's "Wanderer" has gained momentum recently, right?"
"Yeah, the momentum is indeed strong, but the investment in other advertisements is not as strong as ours..."
"It's been advertised on the Spring Festival Gala, do you still say that it is not as strong as ours?"
"Uh, this..." The assistant lowered his head.
He suddenly found that he really couldn't refute it.
"However, although the commercials for "The Wanderer" are really strong, his box office is not necessarily strong. Lu Yuan is indeed very strong in writing songs and scripts, but he is an actor... Haha... Forget it, "The Wandering "I hope it won't become a bottom joke."
"Yes, and I heard that this time the script was not written by Lu Yuan. It was written by a newcomer screenwriter, a newcomer screenwriter, a newcomer director, and a newcomer actor. In the whole movie, except for Lu Yuan, there is a bit of traffic. Everything else is nonsense, so Director Shen, we don't have to worry about this "Wanderer" at all."
"Hehe, do you think I am concerned about "The Wanderer"? I am concerned about "The Red Age". Zhang Tong's "The Red Age" is not simple. It contains old drama bones, traffic stars, and the screenwriter is also a domestic leader The name of Ning Feng... This movie is probably our fourth strongest competitor."
"Well, yes, I think so too."
Shen Lianjie is still so handsome, still so charming.
However, there was scum on his chin, and the whole person looked vicissitudes of life.
He was also an ambitious director, and even wanted to use "Capital City" to make a battle.
but……
He encountered "Buried Alive".
Then he was hung up and beaten by "Buried Alive".
No, I can't say sling, I don't even have the qualification to fight with Yi...
A few days after the release, I was out of the game.
This hit him very hard, and even made him a little skeptical of life.
After a month of depression, Shen Lianjie finally gritted his teeth again and fought again!
He wants to wash away his past shame!
This time he filmed "Flowers and Pinellia", which is a literary and artistic film adapted from a well-known novel. This novel is very popular both on the Internet and in reality, with countless fans, and at the same time invited The well-known little fresh meat Liu Weiting and the newly promoted Xiaohuadan Zhang Jiajia helped out, and of course a bunch of old play bones joined...
These are all his reliance on the box office!
At this moment, his eyes are only "Blood Red Age".
After a failure, some things in Shen Lianjie have actually changed quietly. His shooting methods, his sculpting of the movie, and the control of the plot are completely different.
He is working hard to improve.
Of course, there are still some things that have not changed.
For example, he looked down on "Buried Alive" half a year ago, and half a year later he still looked down on "The Wanderer."
after all……
Counterattack?
You always have a reason to counterattack, right?
New writers, new directors, new actors...
What are you using to counterattack?
No matter how good the advertisement is, what good is it?
What a joke!
Do movie fans support you because of your advertising?
If this is the case, why did the "Capital City" advertisement fail?
…………………………
Night fell.
Tianhe Cinema is very lively.
Everywhere there are couples coming and going arm in arm, and young people who come together in twos and threes.
This time of the year is a good time for dating. What can couples do after dinner?
Go outside to play?
It's so cold outside, why are you playing? Do you have a cold?
Drink coffee?
Who drinks coffee just after eating?
KFC directly?
In everything, you must pay attention to a process, and you must proceed step by step. You just don't say whether the girl is willing or not, even if you do, there is no sentiment.
Therefore, their best choice is for men and women to make appointments to watch movies to prepare for the evening's emotional activities, right?
After seeing the couple in front of him, Wang Zhenxue looked at Lu Yuan subconsciously.
After seeing Lu Yuan's appearance, he shook his head.
Lu Yuan put his hands in his pockets, looking here and there, it seemed that he didn't know where his attention was dispersed.
In fact, whether it was the original world or this world, Lu Yuan watched very few movies.
Especially rebirth into this world...
In half a year, Lu Yuan entered the theater once, and it was the same day that "Buried Alive" was released...
It's not that Lu Yuan doesn't like watching movies, but what kind of movies does a single dog like Lu Yuan watch?
After watching the movie, do you go home and watch the gourd baby to entertain yourself?
Lu Yuan doesn't have this habit.
"nervous?"
"It's fine."
"Our pre-sale tickets have all been sold out, and the two additional shows are all sold out, so the box office on the first day cannot be too bad."
"Well, by the way, have you seen "Killing Alien"?"
""Killing Alien"?"
"Ok."
"what happened?"
Wang Zhenxue looked strange after seeing Lu Yuan standing in front of the poster of "Killing Alien".
"The movie advertisement seems to be very attractive."
"Yes, it's a Hollywood blockbuster after all, and the special effects are definitely different."
"Oh, do you have a ticket?"
"I have tickets. I have two VIP seats for each movie."
"Give me one."
"Are you going to see this one?"
"Well, anyway, the premiere of "Wanderers" is early at 8:30..."
"Do you want to study your opponent in advance?"
"No ah."
"Lu Yuan, although I am very confident in "Wanderers", I think this movie can explode, but the gap with "Killing Alien" can be said to be a sky and an underground. I think we should focus on China for the time being. In the movie." Wang Jinxue was silent for a while and then said psychological words.
"Uh, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to see it."
"Well, you will be hit."
"What's the blow? I really just want to be a spectator... There is no comparison. In fact, I have always been interested in science fiction movies."
"Oh, let's go see it then."
"it is good."
After Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at Wang Jinxue's expression, he knew that Wang Jinxue didn't believe her words.
Of course he didn't explain anything, after all, some things are useless no matter how they are explained.
Wang Zhenxue took out two tickets from her bag and handed them to Lu Yuan. After seeing the tickets, Lu Yuan walked to the movie room of "Killing Alien".
"Sorry, due to the large number of people in the theater, in order to avoid unnecessary situations, please take off your sunglasses and hat, please cooperate actively, thank you."
"okay……"
"Um? Wait, are you Lu Yuan?"
"Wow, it's really Lu Yuan!"
"Wow, he is Lu Yuan!"
"?????"
"Well, did Lu Yuan watch the movie?"
"That's not right, Ergouzi's movie is "The Wanderer", not Hall 5, right? I remember it was in Hall 3, right?
"Then how did he run into Hall 5?"
"Wait, when my movie was about to be released, I went to Hall 5 to watch "Killing Alien". This operation...I really didn't understand."
"me too……"
"Don't support your own movies, support other people's movies? Is it so nasty?"
"What is he doing? Give up on himself so soon?"
"Wait, is this guy studying his opponent?"
"That's not right, you should also watch "Blood Age" and "War Blood" to study your opponents. What "Killing Alien" should you watch? Are the two of the same level?"
"Is he inflated?"
"??"
……………………
"??"
"?"
"At this juncture, he will support other movies?"
"Does he think his "Wanderer" is capable of turning "Killing Alien"?"
"Are you kidding, is it so bloated?"
"???"
When someone posted a photo of Lu Yuan watching "Killing Alien" on the Internet and added a video of Lu Yuan sitting in a seat holding popcorn and eating with relish waiting for the beginning of the movie, netizens were also shown by Lu Yuan's show shocked.
They didn't think that Lu Yuan was watching a movie.
After all, his movie will premiere soon, and he must support his movie.
then……
Netizens also thought of that possibility.
Then netizens were happy...
Is the research opponent so inflated?
